Elaine Tai (she/her) is a librarian with strong interests in social justice and lifelong learning, and she has been lucky to engage with wonderful authors, artists, activists, and others because of the reach of libraries. She is often motivated to create out of frustration, but also inspired and influenced by the community around her. She lives in the San Francisco Bay Area with her curmudgeonly cat Neko and spends her free time as a wannabe patron of the arts, [very] amateur artist, and collector of things. Yes Means Yes is her first book.
